Hello,

I’m starting my journey with nocodb.

My config : `nocodb 0.260.2` with self-hosting.

I notice the formatting formula results for date and numeric aren’t available (test on opera):

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/nocodb/original/1X/ca41ccc4fa902d711a54381805ac223292c17c8d.png)

I check the docs :

> **[Formatting Formula Results | NocoDB](https://docs.nocodb.com/fields/field-types/formula/formula-result-formatting/#date-formats)**
>
> This article explains how to format the output of formulas in NocoDB, covering various formatting options based on the result type.

I know there is an update since 0.260.2 but i didn’t see any mention about that in the changes.

Any idea to get this feature back?

Thank you for the help.

for a formula resulting in date, i do see formatting options available as desired. please try out in latest version & let us know if you still see any issue with that.

also share formula computation with associated field types for the variables used to help us better.

Hello @dstala ,

Thank you for your answer.  
I will test again after the update to the latest version.

The formula is :  
`CONCAT({Annee}, "-", {Mois}, "-", {Jour})`  
Annee : string  
Mois : string  
Jour : string

Maybe it just simple as i can’t convert string to date…  
It’s yet a work-around because of a bug with the date at import:

> <https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/10584>
>
> \### Please confirm that the bug report does \*\*\*not\*\*\* already exist
> 
> \- \[x\] I con…firm there is no existing issue for this bug.
> 
> \### Steps to reproduce
> 
> When importing dates from an Excel file using the DD-MM-YYYY format, some dates are incorrectly interpreted with month and day inverted (MM-DD-YYYY), despite the format being explicitly set to DD-MM-YYYY in the table configuration.
> 
> 1. Create an Excel file with a date column containing the following dates (DD-MM-YYYY format):
> 15-01-2025
> 13-01-2025
> 09-01-2025
> 02-01-2025
> 31-12-2024
> 10-12-2024
> 
> 2. In the application table settings:
> - Add a new date field
> - Set its format to DD-MM-YYYY
> 
> 3. Import the Excel file:
> - Upload the file
> - Map the Excel date column to the configured date field
> 
> Actual behavior:
> Some dates are incorrectly imported with day and month inverted:
> 15-01-2025 -\> 15-01-2025 (correct)
> 13-01-2025 -\> 13-01-2025 (correct)
> 09-01-2025 -\> 01-09-2025 (incorrect - inverted)
> 02-01-2025 -\> 01-02-2025 (incorrect - inverted)
> 31-12-2024 -\> 31-12-2024 (correct)
> 10-12-2024 -\> 12-10-2025 (incorrect - inverted)
> 
> Pattern observed:
> The inversion seems to occur when the day number is less than 12, suggesting the system might be falling back to US date format (MM-DD-YYYY) for these specific cases.
> 
> 
> \### Desired Behavior
> 
> Expected behavior:
> All dates should be imported respecting the DD-MM-YYYY format.
> 
> Result of the import:
> 15-01-2025
> 13-01-2025
> 09-01-2025
> 02-01-2025
> 31-12-2024
> 10-12-2024
